Now try again. The command calling mytharchivehelper should be written to the logfile now. Please post this command so I can check if it is correct (I think so) And try this command in a terminal window.

If the same error occurs here then mytharchivehelper is to blame and you should file a bug report.

Stefan,

Thank you for your reply.. I added the write (command) to the script and the error is the same. I do not know what new problem was introduced but I after trying your tip I installed the new version mytharchive 0.25 with mythffmpeg and it works OK (well it does not remove the commercials cut points but that is another issue that also was present in 0.24). Stefan thanks again for your help

You do know that to activate the cutlist you have to use the 'Menu' (M) key when you see the grey scissors? Then, if you make the appropriate choice, they should turn red. Personally I do the cutting first, but having it inside MythArchive is probably more convenient.

Hi John,

This is with the new 0.25 myth

1. This is how I do the cutting:

- when I watch to the recording I press <E> to enter edit mode, there I do the cutting and then I save it. - when I want to create a dvd, I select the file that will show the gray scissor - then select the file with gray scissor and press M and <use cut list> then scissor becomes red. - then the iso is written BUT the cuts are not included.

I have this problem before with 0.24 and as you remember in on the threads Will came with some changes in the mythburn.py script that fix the problem. Now is back in 0.25 but the script is different and I can not use Will's patch.

2. If I do the cut first (I am using the Hauppage HD-PVR), the cuts are made after I transcode. The problem is that the file produce after the transcode is in a nuv container and for some reason I can not use the file to make the DVD becasue it produces and error. The file is OK because I have been using it under avidemux to produce the dvd.

Yes, I remember that thread but I forgot that you were in on it; I'm afraid I thought you were fresh to the MythArchive pastime :-)

I'm still trying to decide what to do with dvb-t2 HD recordings if I want to keep them - without getting terabytes and keeping them powered up. Fortunately SD dvb-t still looks pretty good to me and three hours of that will usually fit onto a DVD with no loss of quality. I thought I might have problems after the changes in 0.25 but so far I've only made a few small tweaks to fit in with my personal preferences. The main box is still 0.24.3 but I'll probably move on quite soon.

Which path do you mean?

I'm trying to update integrate all the patches and several other issues into one path. Maybe there are chances they get fixed in the next version. But at the moment I'm very busy. So it may take some weeks.
